The body tubes are "ST" or Centuri style tubing. I'll be using heavy walled BT-50H and my Odd'l Rockets heavy wall BT-20H for the engine mount.
The OOP kit used a balsa nose cone with four washer weights to move the C/G forward. I'm using an Apogee plastic nose cone that has plenty of room for clay weight if needed. My main body tube will be 1 1/2" longer to help with stability.
The shorter white tube is another length of BT-50H for the bottom intake.
The long dowel will end up as the conduit tunnel. The short dowel was to be used for the front of the intake. I ended up using a split nose cone like on the Odd'l F-104 kit intakes.
All the 3/32" thick balsa are scraps, leftover pieces from laser cut sheets from kits. The picture on the left are the printed paper templates. The three piece laminate fairing is on the top, notice the cutouts for the fin tabs. The 1/16" thick fins are on the bottom. All the balsa pieces (fins and fairings) will be 3/32" thick.
